I chose a 2008 Caldecott Honor book for my first book review. First the Egg is written by Laura Vaccaro Seeger. This story is a short picture book for young children that explores the age old question: which came first, the chicken or the egg?
At first glance, I wasn't really sure why this book would be a Caldecott Honor book. When I read the book, however, I truly enjoyed its simple, yet profound message that everything comes from something else.
The book's cutouts preview the image on the next page in a clever and unexpected way. Young children will love to guess what's coming up next. I will definitely read this book to my young students in the near future.
